Aug 25, 2012 Sports

 

Guyana’s Men and Ladies teams have establish themselves as the squads to beat by winning both of their matches on the second day of pool play at the Caribbean Squash Championships in Trinidad and Tobago.
The Men’s team beat OECS 5-0 to win Pool B and move into the semifinals where they were down to play Barbados for an opportunity to compete in the finals on today.
Richard Chin beat Jules Snagg 12/10, 11/6, 11/2, Alex Arjoon beat Kevin Hannaway 13/11, 11/6, 11/7, Julian Chin beat Kevin Bailey 11/9, 11/5, 11/7, Jamal Callender beat Shane Slater 11/4, 11/7, 11/8 and Deje Dias beat Jason Dole 11/2, 11/5, 11/4.
OECS finished 2nd in Pool B and will play Trinidad and Tobago in the second semifinals.
The Ladies continued their unbeaten streak in the round robin format by trouncing host country Trinidad and Tobago 4-1.
Nicolette Fernandes demolished T&T number one Kerrie Sample 11/2, 11/4, 11/3, Ashley Khalil beat former T&T national champion Rhea Khan 11/2, 11,4, 6/11, 11/5, Mary Fung-a-Fat lost to Charlotte Knaggs 11/5, 11/13, 8/11, 9/11, while Victoria Arjoon beat Jessica Scott 11/4, 9/11, 11/5, 11/6 and Ashley DeGroot beat Johanna Augustus 9/11, 11/7, 11/7, 11/2. The Ladies have now won all their matches to date and will play Barbados in the finals today.
The Veterans team struggled in their matches as they start all their ties with a two match deficit by not having any representatives in the two ladies categories.
They lost to favourites T&T as the three men lost their matches. Unfortunately for the vets, they also had to play in the afternoon and lost 2-1 to one of the favorites OECS with Dennis Dias winning the only match of the day. Dias made short work of Ken Adamson with the score of 11/8, 11/1, 11/4.
The Vets team continued their uphill battle by playing powerhouse Barbados yesterday and closing with Jamaica today.
